Field book · Data practices
These notes sit beside the App Store privacy label for Grow Mineral Vein, the free puzzle of nuclei, chambers, and ink. They use ordinary words for players and guardians. They are a product record, not a statute and not a lawyer’s opinion. If the label on the store moves first, follow the label and expect this page to be redrawn.

Traverse A
It covers the Grow Mineral Vein app from the App Store, the English introduction next to this file, and this record. It does not describe another game, a personal homepage, or a mailing list.
An Apple ID, a payment, Family Sharing, Screen Time, and a device backup stay with Apple. Those follow Apple’s terms and Apple’s privacy policy.
Traverse B
Site progress, activation counts, lives, and the lifetime totals named on the listing: veins grown, perfect networks, and levels cleared.
Usage Data and Advertising Data. The label does not file ordinary puzzle progress as one of its collected categories.
A round is a slab. You preview a nucleus in blue, then confirm so the vein becomes black ink. Those figures exist so the survey can continue on that install. Deleting Grow Mineral Vein clears the app’s local storage. If an Apple backup is enabled, Apple may still include app data under the backup settings already chosen.
The store description does not offer a publisher sign-in, a password, or a cloud copy of finished slabs.
Traverse C
Under data used to track you, the label names Usage Data. In Apple’s privacy labels, tracking means the data is linked with third-party data for advertising, or shared with a data broker. It can travel across apps and websites owned by other companies.
Under data linked to you, the same label says the following may be collected and tied to an identity, for the purpose of third-party advertising:
“Linked” means the publisher indicated to Apple that the data can be connected to an identity, which can be an advertising identifier on the device. Advertising partners use those two categories to choose, deliver, cap, and measure ads. This record does not add precise location, contacts, health, photos, or payment details. The game has no profile page to edit.
Traverse D
The download costs nothing, and the rating block says Grow Mineral Vein contains advertising. An ad is separate from the blue preview and from the ink you confirm.
Companies authorized to sell that advertising are listed in app-ads.txt, published with these pages. The file names sellers. It is not a log of each ad you might see, and the names change when those relationships change.
The privacy label filed with Apple is the disclosure that governs. This page repeats it in survey language. When the two disagree, trust the label on the store.
Traverse E
The introduction and this record have no comment box, no newsletter, and no checkout. The listing does not ask for an email address, phone number, legal name, contacts, camera, microphone, photo library, or precise location before a nucleus can be previewed.
Installing from the App Store does not grant a permission the game never requests. If a later version shows a system prompt, that prompt names the access. Read it before you allow it.
Traverse F
The app is in English. It is filed as a puzzle, free, about 77.1 MB, rated 4+, and designed for iPad. It needs iOS 15.0 or later, and iPadOS 15.0 or later on iPad. iPod touch uses that same iOS requirement. Mac needs Apple silicon and macOS 12.0 or later, and that build is marked not verified for macOS. Apple Vision needs visionOS 1.0 or later.
Download, update, and refund paths run through Apple. Information Apple already holds about an Apple ID is not copied into a separate publisher file just because the game is installed.
Traverse G
When iOS shows the App Tracking Transparency prompt, your answer decides whether the app may track you across other companies’ apps and websites. You can change it later in Settings, under Privacy & Security, then Tracking. Other system controls for advertising personalization can further limit what an ad network is allowed to do on that device.
Those controls belong to Apple. They do not remove ads from a game whose listing says it contains advertising. They change the tracking and personalization the system still permits.
Traverse H
A parent or guardian decides whether the app is installed. Ask to Buy, Screen Time, and Family Sharing can hold that download or let it through.
The listing still discloses advertising, Usage Data that may be used to track, and Usage Data plus Advertising Data linked for third-party advertising. Apple says privacy practices may vary, including with age. This record does not describe a separate child account inside the survey. If you believe a child sent personal information to the publisher outside ordinary play, use support on the App Store listing and include only what is needed to find the request.
Traverse I
Depending on where you live, you may have a right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of personal information, or to object to or limit certain advertising uses, including a sale or share for cross-context advertising. Send that request through the support options on the Grow Mineral Vein App Store page. Name the game, say the message is about privacy, and leave out anything the request does not need.
Some advertising records are held by the companies that serve the ads, not in a file the publisher can empty by itself. The tracking control above is the practical switch for cross-app tracking permission. These pages publish no personal email address and no street address.
Usage Data and Advertising Data are kept for the advertising purposes on the label, for measurement, and for legal duties that apply to the publisher or to an advertising partner. On-device progress remains until the app is removed or its storage is cleared, apart from Apple backups you control.
Advertising partners may process data in a country other than yours. Where a transfer rule requires a safeguard, that safeguard is the one the partner and the platform already use for delivering ads. This record does not name a private office abroad.
Traverse J
The stamp at the top is the date of this wording, written for the 1.0 listing. If a later build collects a new category, or changes whether data is used to track, the App Store privacy label should move with that build. This page will be rewritten so the two match.
Playing after a replacement record is posted means the new text was available here and, when Apple shows the link, on the privacy policy entry of the store listing.
The live listing, the privacy label, and product support for Grow Mineral Vein are on the App Store page.
